The base station was built on the mountain, so there was naturally no one living around it.
If they wanted to visit, they would visit the area around the base station.
Han Bin and the others went down the mountain. There were a few farmhouses at the foot of the mountain, and further ahead was the antique street.
The farmhouses were on both sides of the road, and some of them had cameras installed. Han Bin planned to ask around and make a copy of the surveillance footage.
As for Tian Li and Zhao Ming, they avoided Han Bin and went to other places to ask around.
Han Bin and Zhao Ming first went to a farmhouse called Fat Sister-In-Law. It was already past mealtime, and there were no customers. A few of them were cleaning the place.
"What would you like to eat?" a fat woman in her forties wearing an apron asked.
"We're the police, and we want to know something." Han Bin showed his police ID.
Hearing what Han Bin said, the fat woman was stunned, and the other waiters stopped what they were doing.
The fat woman looked at Han Bin and Zhao Ming. "Police, what's the matter?"
"The nearby base station was stolen. Do you know about it?" Han Bin asked.
"No. What does it have to do with us?" the fat woman said indifferently.
"Mom, why doesn't it have anything to do with us? Our phones have no signal, right? It's because the base station was stolen, "a seventeen-year-old young man reminded her.
"Oh, I see. I was wondering why we couldn't get through." The fat woman looked enlightened.
"We're investigating this to catch the suspect and restore the base station's communication as soon as possible," Han Bin explained.
Advanced animals like humans had a strong sense of subjectivity. If they were willing to work with you, they might get twice the result with half the effort. If they weren't willing to work with you, it would be good if they didn't drag you down, let alone provide you with information.
Make things clear and let them understand the whole story. If it was related to their own interests, they would take the initiative to cooperate.
"Go ahead. We're willing to work with you," the fat woman said readily.
If the phone couldn't get through, it would affect the farmhouse's business. She naturally hoped that the base station could be restored as soon as possible.
"Do you know the exact time when the phone lost signal?" Han Bin asked.
"Last night, I remember that there was still a signal when I called at ten o 'clock. This morning, I realized that the phone couldn't be reached at eight o' clock. I can't tell exactly when there was no signal," said the fat woman.
"I know the exact time," the young man said.
"What time?"
"12: 25 am," the young man recalled.
"How do you remember it so clearly?" Han Bin was a little surprised.
"I like to play Honor of Kings. I'm most afraid of lagging in this game. My family's internet connection isn't very good, and it often lags. I always play with my data on." As the young man spoke, he glanced at the fat and strong woman from the corner of his eyes.
"I couldn't sleep last night, so I went to play Arena of Valor. I was playing it well and was about to reach the high ground under my lead, but I suddenly got disconnected. I couldn't use my phone's data. When I switched to the wireless network, I looked at the time. It was 12: 25, so I remember it clearly."
"Did you win or lose?" Li Hui asked with a smile.
The young man chuckled. "I won. Guru Chao and MVP."
"Not bad." Li Hui gave him a thumbs-up.
The fat woman was a little displeased. "Why did you play so late again? Didn't I tell you to sleep early?"
"I couldn't sleep last night," the young man said timidly.
"You didn't sleep at night and didn't wake up in the morning. Go ahead," the fat woman snorted.
"Did you see any suspicious vehicles going up the mountain between twelve and one o 'clock last night?" Han Bin asked.
"Stop joking. It's already so late. Why would we go out? We're already asleep," the fat woman replied.
"Do you have surveillance cameras in your house?"
"In the yard."
"Can you record the road outside?" Han Bin asked.
"Of course not. We're just afraid that thieves will enter the yard. The angle of the camera is limited. If it's aimed at the road, there will be blind spots in the yard," the fat woman said.
Han Bin asked a few more questions before bidding farewell.
After leaving the farmhouse, Han Bin asked a few families nearby to confirm the exact time when there was no signal on their phones.
If there was no signal on their phones, it meant that the base station had been robbed. They could roughly guess the time of the crime.
After asking around, Han Bin did not find anyone who could tell the exact time like the young man. Not everyone cared so much about the phone signal. Many people discovered it rather late.
However, after asking around, Han Bin found that the last time these people used their phones was not after twelve o 'clock last night, and the time they discovered that there was no signal on their phones was after two o' clock in the morning.
Indirectly speaking, it also confirmed the young man's words. The possibility of the phone signal being cut off at twelve o 'clock was very high.
From this, it could be inferred that the time when the suspect stole the base station should be between twelve o 'clock and one o' clock in the morning. The focus of the surveillance cameras would also be around this time.
…
By the time Han Bin and Zhao Yu finished their interviews, it was already past three o 'clock in the afternoon. There were still six other theft cases that needed to be investigated again. Han Bin and the others had a lot of work to do.
In a police car near the farmhouse, Zeng Ping, Han Bin, Tian Li, and the others met up.
"Captain Zeng, what are we doing now?" Li Hui asked.
"Summarize the clues we've collected, and then go to the Golden Beach base station to investigate. It's closer to here." Zeng Ping opened the car door and took out a cigarette.
He was a heavy smoker. He couldn't smoke at the crime scene just now, and he almost suffocated.
Han Bin, Li Hui, and Zhao Ming followed suit and took out cigarettes from their pockets.
"Captain Zeng, Brother Bin, Brother Hui, smoke mine." Zhao Ming took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and distributed them to everyone.
Han Bin took out a lighter and lit one for Zeng Ping, then lit his own cigarette and took a puff.
Han Bin was no stranger to Chinese cigarettes. People often gave gifts during Chinese New Year and other festivals. Han Weidong didn't think it was a good influence, and he didn't like to smoke this kind of cigarette, so he didn't let people give him any.
"Hey, Zhao Ming, give me one." Tian Li spread out her hands and said.
"Sister Tian, why do you want a cigarette?" Zhao Ming was puzzled.
"I want to try it too. Is this thing really that attractive?"
Zeng Ping waved his hand and reprimanded, "Don't give it to her. Why does a woman smoke? Does she still want to get married?"
"Captain Zeng, you are thinking too much. Nowadays, there are many women smoking on the street." Tian Li shook her head.
"Why are you competing with them? Those women who smoke, which one doesn't have a tattoo? You should get one too." Zeng Ping snorted.
Tian Li made a face. She was a policewoman, so she naturally couldn't get a tattoo.
"Captain Zeng, have you reported to Captain Zheng? Did he send more people for us? Are there six crime scenes that haven't been checked yet? "Li Hui made a gesture with his pen.
"Team One also has a case now, so they can't support us. Captain Zheng is coordinating with Team One and Team Two. I don't think it's possible. Don't hold too much hope. We still have to rely on ourselves." Zeng Ping said.
"Well, we are going to be busy this time." Tian Li said helplessly.
"Don't look so sad. Is it okay for a criminal policeman to be afraid of hardship?" Zeng Ping reprimanded her and changed the topic.
"By the way, I have good news for you. Team Two is going to add a new member."
